So. What's up with this petition? Has anything been decided?

Thanks.

Vive l'Empereur!

Really nothing new here - we have been after this for some time. I have wanted a training grade as well as a morale grade. Victory point field would be nice. Again, we went over alot of this already in discussions in the past but I am confident that we might see these in future games.

This has not been sent to Rich or John that I know of. And we wont be adding in any new features than we have already for the next release. This would be for a future title.

Note: the older OBs would not work as the leader pics have changed. All of the pics would be of Napoleon (makes the French happy I am sure to know that Blucher was really Napoleon after all!).

Minor point, no comment on the substance of the idea. Grenadiers may be physically taller men, but don't deserve melee bonuses as a result of it. Infantry "melee" is mostly conducted with charged tubes against empty at ranges from 40 yards to about 10 feet. It happens as soon as one formed unit tries to get into the same 100 yard location as another. If a front rank on one side fires and is therefore empty, the other side can run in to nearly point blank and hit with every shot. Bravery is a shot still in the barrel. And being 4 inches taller doesn't much help in such situations.

Sincerely,
